摘要
Job satisfaction in the workplace affects absenteeism, turnover, and performance. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 201 nursing personnel to assess satisfaction among nursing staff at a military hospital in the southwestern United States, Participants completed a self-administered survey in which they rated professional status, autonomy, pay, organizational policies, task requirements, and interaction by importance and satisfaction. Autonomy, professional status, and pay were the most important factors and organizational policies was the least important factor. Military staff were slightly more satisfied with staff interactions than civilian staff, Nursing personnel working in specialty care units were significantly more satisfied with interactions and professional status, but they valued organizational policies less than those working in general units, Professionals were significantly more satisfied with pay and autonomy, whereas nonprofessionals were more satisfied with task requirements and professional status.
